简要总结
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate the safety and efficacy of scalp cream for Symptom Relief and Microbiome Balance in mild-moderate Seborrheic Dermatitis patients.
详细描述
Thirty-four participants were randomized: 22 to the treatment group and 12 to the placebo group. Thirty-two participants completed the study: 20 treatment and 12 placebo. Two participants in the treatment group were lost to follow-up. Treatment was applied to affected scalp areas and, where applicable, other seborrheic dermatitis-affected sebum-rich sites, including the hairline/forehead, postauricular area, and neck/nape. Safety and tolerability were assessed throughout the 60-day treatment period by monitoring adverse events.

研究组 & 干预措施
Microbiome-Powered Cream
Mode of Usage: Apply a generous amount of the cream to the affected area of the scalp. Gently part the hair using a wide-tooth comb or your fingertips to ensure direct contact with the scalp. Extend slightly beyond affected areas.
Massage the cream gently into the skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse off after application.
Frequency: Apply twice daily - once after the morning shower and once before bedtime.
Route of Administration: Topical Note For best results, the cream should be applied within 5 minutes of towel drying, while the scalp is slightly damp and soft. At night, ensure the cream is fully absorbed before lying down to avoid transfer to bedding materials like pillows or sheets.
